January 7, 201016 yr http://sports.espn.go.com/videogames/news/story?id=4795625 When EA Sports community manager Alain Quinto tweeted back in December that EA execs were preparing to announce a new game, the rumors and speculation spiraled out of control. Was EA going to steal the WWE license from THQ? Is "MVP Baseball" coming back? Is a new sport like lacrosse finally going to break through with an NCAA-licensed game? To make it simple, no, no and no. NBA Jam EA plans to bring back the classic Midway game exclusively for the Wii. Instead, sources confirmed to ESPN that the new title is actually one of the all-time classics coming back to consoles as EA Sports has acquired the rights from the NBA to deliver an updated version of "NBA Jam" that will ship to retail exclusively for the Wii.
January 7, 201016 yr The resurrection of what some would argue the father of all video games. I will be playing this one.
January 7, 201016 yr If I could see a flaming basketball go through the net I would be happy. He's on fire! In a related story, I would be thrilled to play the NES game "Double Dribble" one more time!
January 7, 201016 yr Had NBA Jam Tournament Edition, and played it like crazy... I can still hear the calls in my head plain as day... "Heating up... HE'S ON FIRE!" and also there was "Terrible shot! Ugly shot!"
January 7, 201016 yr I'll be getting this one ASAP. I do think a lacrosse game would be fun though...
January 7, 201016 yr While we are on the topics of old games coming back, if any of you played Ninja Turtles: Turtles In Time, a 3d new version of that game is up for sale on the xbox live market place and the PS3 marketplace.
January 7, 201016 yr This is great news. My wife just bought me a Wii for my birthday and I never put NBA jam down when I had it for Sega Genesis. ...and speaking of this and DOuble Dribble, Did anyone ever play Arch Rivals? It was a basketball game that you could punch and kick with no fouls, it was pretty sweet too.
January 7, 201016 yr Wow, me and buddy were just talking about how awesome a new NBA Jam would be the other day.
